How To Make roast chicken

    Place the sliver onion or red onion and the slice carrot in the slow cooker. Put the chicken on top of the vegetables. Squeeze the lemon over everything, then slice it into rounds and put a couple of the slices in the cavity of the bird. Season all over with thyme, sage salt, and pepper.
